Clover Talent are recruiting for an Account Executive to join a growing financial services business that helps professional-services firms secure funding.

The business works with clients including accountants, solicitors and architects, and is looking for someone who can generate new business, convert inbound enquiries and build strong relationships with clients.

The Role

This is a varied sales role, with around 50% of your time focused on generating your own opportunities.

You’ll research businesses, use LinkedIn and other channels, work from existing data, generate referrals and speak to potential clients to create new opportunities.

Around 35% of your time will be spent handling inbound leads, understanding what the client needs and taking opportunities through to completion. The remaining 15% will be focused on looking after existing clients, maintaining relationships and managing annual renewals.

This isn’t a role based around making hundreds of cold calls every day. The business takes a more considered approach to sales. You’ll be expected to understand who you’re contacting, why you’re contacting them and have relevant conversations that can lead to genuine business opportunities.

Experience Required

• Previous experience within financial services is desirable.
• Previous B2B sales, business development or account management experience.
• Comfortable generating your own leads and winning new business.
• Confident speaking with business owners and decision-makers.
• Able to build strong, long-term client relationships.
• Self-motivated, proactive and driven to achieve results.
• Someone who takes the time to understand a prospect rather than relying on high-volume cold calling.

If you’re already working in financial services and looking for a role where you can take ownership, generate your own opportunities and build long-term client relationships.
